Well that's what they are supposed to do, although I'm not sure that I've ever seen DR-WRT report 1.2GHz CPU for the WRT1900AC v1, at least not in recent builds. I just put it down to a GUI bug? _________________ Linksys WRT32X v1 - r45677

I recently upgraded from r38347 -> r38381
Upon the reboot all worked well and all devise re-connected.
What I noticed was the CPU speed at 1200 and usage 100% and the temperature at 55C.
I was suspicious of these readings as the ambient temperature at this particular router is -30C
Eventually I did a "Apply Settings" CPU Speed 600 and the usage dropped to < 1% and temperatures CPU 16.1 °C / WL0 6.3 °C / WL1 11.4 °C
So as per the previous comments, don't believe all you see, depend on the performance of the unit. It seems to me that this has risen before and my understanding is the 1900 V1 will automatically adjust speed to the load requirements. Even though I am loading the unit quite heavily with clients and communication via WDS to my Master, it is only minor CPU usage. _________________ Starlink & DSL -> TPLink TL-R470T+
